Most Jews get email. Looking at a gun is not prohibited, looking at other naked
females is. No Jew has ever left their husband or wife after meeting a gun,
there are unfortunately some who have left their spouse after meeting someone
over the internet. Few if any Jews use guns to steal, I know of Jews who have
stolen by downloading for pay content from the internet without paying (MP3s,
movies, books, etc.)
I can go on, but you see where I'm going. Guns just don't show up on the Jewish
radar while the internet does. If guns were an issue, then there may well be a
ban on them. Of all gun owners in America, Jews make up so small a percentage as
to be non-existent. Of all internet users in America, Jews make up a significant
percentage.
